A bishop is, under normal circumstances, worth 3 points. A knight is worth 2.9. 

You can't checkmate with 2 knights vs a King unless the weak side makes a mistake (you can easily checkmate with the 2 bishops or with a B+N). 

Of course, there will be positions where a knight is worth a lot more than a bishop, just like there are moments in life where a little bit of water could be worth a million bucks (for example if you're about to die of thirst in the desert!)  Smile

Having said that, when you're starting out at chess, knights are trickier.

Depends but I like to just get the bishop pair of the bord so i dont blunder it away those 2000+ are lethal with the bishops from my experience
